Right, except for the blatant stereotyping of Italians.

oh god one of you kind of people again
the kind that complain about movies being racist or stereotypical.


the only thing that this movie is talking about are the husbands/monsters that beat their wives.


by the way...stereotypes are based on a large amount of truth :)

i totALLY AGREE VERY GOOD MOVIE BUT I WANTED TO KNOW MORE..LIKE WAT HAPPENED WHEN HIS DAD TOOK HIM WAS HE ABUSED WHAT MADE HIM LEAVE HE WAS ONLY TEN HOW DID HE KNOW HOW 2 GET BACK

I read the book and as I remember, he didn't get back to his mother. She married the teacher and they had a daughter together after Bobby took his son back. The book ended with her getting a series of phone calls; she'd answer and hear someone breathing but no voice. She figured out it was her son, and called him by name, but he hung up after hearing the baby in the background. She was very upset, thinking that her son thought she'd replaced him with a new baby. Then she tells herself that she's very sure one day her son will find her. Not much of a closure.

I could have used a little more closure too! Like maybe putting an APB out on Bobby for practically killing his wife...or is that legal in Florida? Sorry, just being a wise guy but really he shouldn't have been hard to catch, cop or no cop and she could have pressed charges and at least have kept her son. So, my question is "Why wern't the police called RIGHT away to pick Bobby up?

I liked it too. The movie made me angry, how the hell could someone treat their wife and son like that?!!
Don't they know how lucky they are to have a beautiful family like that? Fran was gorgeous, sweet, and had a great job. Robert was a well behaved, loving son. They had a good home. Bobby was lucky to have them! He himself while handsome in a way and had a sexy voice...was kind of goofy and nothing all that great.
